Wearing my nice cargo shorts today b/c we're going out to dinner. #MAWGStuff

Got my glasses adjusted yesterday after using them au natural for ~9 months (they came in during the worst part of covid & were not crucial to my life, so I just wore them unadjusted).

Holy cow what a difference. I can see much better through them & as a bonus, if I swing my head back quickly to e.g., back out of my driveway, they don't fly off my face.

Man, I slept so much better last night. Going to do the airbed again tonight.

Stay cool everyone!

After years of talking about it on hot nights, i think we're finally actually going to set up the air bed and sleep downstairs in the air conditioned cool.

thermometer on the back deck says it's 108 degrees farenheit out there.

that thing gets nailed by the afternoon sun, so it's really closer to 99 out generally.

So I put on Ice Road, risking major testosterone poisoning, but it managed to distract me enough to get me through the workout. (The beginning of it anyway.)

So--coda on this. I'm back to my elliptical workouts & so cued this up to watch & like 5 minutes in this time I see fucking Sean Spicer playing himself in an ambient TV news scene.

Fuuuuuuck that noise. Not gonna participate in the rehabilitation of that malignant asshole.

That one is wirecutter's "upgrade pick".

I'm thinking of maybe splurging on one but am nervous about giving up my 10-key number pad.

I have a coworker who swears by his & it seems to be built to last...
